Oracle recently changed their free VPS allowances, taking down my Nextcloud instance. I’m moving my file sync to a local machine but was wondering if anyone had any experience with alternatives, as Nextcloud AIO was a major pain in the ass to set up last time.

I used it for sharing WIP music projects so having a web interface where I can listen to audio files from a browser was really convenient. It seems however, that all apps offering this feature are just as heavy as NC.

I tried installing cloudreve, but the web media player seems borked on firefox.

Does anyone know any good alternatives, preferably ones which can run off a single docker compose file?

    I use OwnCloud, which was forked into NextCloud ages ago. I originally intended it as a temporary measure, but it has turned out to be a very reliable, no-frills but adequately featured fileserver. For example, it has file versioning, and companion apps on major OSs that help with managing local and cloud stored files.

    If you want a dead simple option, CopyParty is amazing. It’s a 1MB Python file that is basically a Swiss Army knife of file hosting. FTP, web interface, WebDAV, SMB, etc., etc. It wont have system integrations or file versioning, but it’s impressive what it can do.

    Edit: worth mentioning CopyParty has an in-browser media player, which is perfectly adequate for previews.

    Owncloud, Opencloud, Sync-in, and Seafile are some lighter-weight options I know of with docker builds.

    Opencloud is pretty decent no extras just file sync with a web UI and android app.

      As always, I want to note that seafile is not compatible with existing files, you can’t just point it at a directory, you have to upload them to seafile, and then you can only access them via seafile (at least that’s how I understand it, correct me if I’m way off base).

    Strong recommend for Seafile. It’s way faster than nextcloud, it has a good web ui, and nice clients on all platforms.

    I can not express how much faster than nextcloud it is.

    Obviously open source too.
